Improvements

Editor Color Scheme Plugin — #28 ⇄ #33 (⊶ 762dd19)
↠ The theme is now available from the JetBrains Plugins Repository.

JetBrains announced a new feature for the platform that allows to export editor color schemes as plugins which can be easily installed from the Plugin Repository. Color scheme plugins can be filtered with the Editor Color Schemes category.

This feature greatly improves the installation process for Nord regarding the UX and version update handling compared to the manual installation and is the recommended method.

Syntax

Comment Color Brightness — #41 ⇄ #42 (⊶ 04adc7b)
↠ Implemented the increase of the comment color (nord3) brightness by 10% from a lightness level of ~35% to ~45%.

Migration to MIT license — #29 ⇄ #30 (⊶ 4081f21)
↠ Migrated to the MIT license to adapt to the migration of the main Nord project.

➜ Please see the main task ticket for all details about this change decision.

Project renaming to "Nord JetBrains Editor" — #31 ⇄ #32 (⊶ b2a80df)
↠ The project started with the main indention in my mind to target the IntelliJ IDEA IDE and create a new port project for each IDE from JetBrains, but since all these awesome products are internally based on the IntelliJ engine the color scheme format can be used universally.

To clarify the compatibility with all IDEs from JetBrains the project has been renamed to Nord JetBrains Editor (nord-jetbrains-editor). The "Editor" post-fix word is used to keep the namespace open for the possibility that JetBrains introduces a official UI theme API someday. This is currently only possible by using an unoffical way like overriding internal IDE files as shown by the Material Theme UI plugin.
